      You’re free to say anything you want so long as you don’t want to say something against the ruling class.

    Nothing says free speech better than banning certain topics.

      Democracy and Capitalism cannot coexist equally. Capital will always win.

      “Free speech” = fascist speech. “Free markets” = monopolistic megacorporations.

    Has the Post — or any American newspaper — ever published an editorial against “personal liberties and free markets”?

    So the WAPO goes full libertarian. It’s just a further enshittification of a newspaper that was once pretty good … but that was a long, long time ago.

      It’s at least kind of notable that we seem to be losing a lot of the ones that pretended to be on our side.

    Why has the entire staff of the WaPo not walked out? With this, it’s solidifying itself as a right wing publication.
